Rajkummar Rao reacts to question about people glorifying negative characters in films, read to know more

Rajkummar Rao discussed the issue of people admiring negative characters in films on Raj Shamani's podcast. He was asked about why some people relate to Shah Rukh Khan's character in Devdas.

Rajkummar Rao clarified, saying that if some people try to imitate Devdas after watching the film, the issue is with them, not the film.

He further explained, 'You have been shown a story that there might be some guy like Devdas. The Director isn't asking anyone to become like him, and it's based on a book... It's a character story. He dies in the end. He is telling you if you do this, you gonna die sooner. He is not telling you that he is facing all these, still he is living well and has a lot of money.'

Rajkummar on the film 'Animal'

Rajkummar Rao also shared his thoughts on Ranbir Kapoor starrer 'Animal'. He mentioned, 'I loved Animal, the experience of watching Animal. I enjoyed it. Did I have some issues with the film? Maybe. Some scenes here and there, yes. But did I not enjoy the film? Of course not, I enjoyed the film, I enjoyed the experience of watching the film. I loved Ranbir Kapoor in it and his performance in the film was mind-blowing. Rajkummar shared that a film critic said that the film was titled Animal and not Adarsh Purush, as the director wanted to show the story of an 'animal'.

'Animal', released in 2023, is an action drama directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The film features Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna, and Triptii Dimri. Although it faced criticism for promoting toxic masculinity and misogyny, it was a commercial success and grossed ₹917 crore worldwide.
